Mac Mini M1 (12.1 Monterey)

Unable to connect to network and device is stuck in REQUESTING_CONFIGURATION. Other devices on the same network (WIFI and same subnet) including an M1 Macbook Air are connecting and communicating fine. No firewall or firewall type software installed on the host. All clients are 1.8.4

Have done this several times:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.zerotier.one.plist 
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.zerotier.one.plist

Have also removed and rejoined the network from the CLI with no changes. If anyone has ideas I would appreciate the help!

Are you sure you typed the network ID correctly? Your peers output only shows the root servers and does not show the node ID of the network controller in the list. (Fun fact, the first 10 digits of a network ID are a zerotier node ID). So I’d check the network ID first.

Also check the output of the command systemextensionctl list. If there are any network extensions listed, there’s a known incompatibility with network extensions & many other things networking related on macOS 12.1+.

Beyond that, the only other suspect would be the network router/firewall or IDS deciding to not let ZeroTier talk from this computer.

Thanks Grant. It appears that I did somehow mistype the network ID and it now works! Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you can’t paste into the network field in the GUI client?

That would be because there’s a bug :smile: There’s a fix queued up in the next release, which should be soon™
